When was Ovi drafted? In 2003, when did he win his 1st playoff series? In 2009... That's literally 1 year less than Matthews, You do realize that 1 players might get better as he ages? Or do you need to ask one of your friends who might have played to tell you that? Actually, Ovi was selected when the Capitals were mid and tanked for 1 year (3 1st round exits in 4 years, 4rth yer was when they drafted OVI, look it up) whereas Matthews helped bounce a team out of a rebuild into playoffs... I didn't realize that the American education system ONLTY taught Gods and Guns because they sure didn't't teach you how to bring up facts and deflect away from topics that you are clearly losing (see Tom Wilson, anything about Grit etc.)
Point is, stop wasting my time with your stupidity and I don't need to help you dig a hole in your own argument anymore[/quote]
HOLY CRAPPPPPP YOU ARE SOOO DUMB
ALEX OVECHKIN WAS DRAFTED IN 2004 NOT 2003- YOUR FIRST ERROR HERE
NHL LOCKOUT IN 04-05 (MAYBE YOURE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW THAT AHAHA)
OVECHKIN DEBUTED IN THE 05-06 SEASON AND MADE THE PLAYOFFS IN 07-08 AND WON A SERIES IN 08-09 (THATS 4 YEARS)
Like you should probably get help because you are continually wrong and think you are right (mental disorder)
THE CAPITALS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS IN 2003 SO THEY WERE NOT MID-TANK WHEN GETTING OVI, THATS CALLED THE START OF A TANK (they literally trade Jagr in 2004 to start the tank)
(BEGINNING OF REBUILD) Ovechkin & Green 04 Draft, Backstrom 06 Draft, Alzner 07, Carlson & Holtby 08 Draft
Reilly 12 Draft, Nylander 14 Draft, Marner 15 Draft & Matthews 16 Draft (END OF REBUILD)
Like you have yet to prove a single correct point in this entire argument this might be the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen on here GO CRY BACK HOME AND DRINK YOUR MAPLE SYRUP HHAHAAHHAH
So you don't know the year when Ovi was drafted (CHECK)
do not know how to count (Check)
The team made the previous playoffs and sold off their best player to single the start of a tank given they were not in the middle of a tank (So you don't know what being in a rebuild means, Check)
I stated everything you said wrong and you are still yet to say anything correct or factual right?? must be the Canadian way!!!!!
